"Near the conclusion of the first game, Universal was sold to Seagram's Distillery of Canada. It was previously owned by Matsushita Electric. Also Sony had just stepped in to license Crash Bandicoot so there was much chaos in the pecking order. Sony wanted to glorify the development team of their new acquistion, so ND stepped on anyone they could to get all the credit and publicity. It was just bad timing and after many clashes between Rob (Universal Interactive Studios president) and Jason, the new head of UIS, Paul Rioux decided to fire Rob on Jason insistence."
